Río Guayas

Flowing through Guayas, Ecuador, Río Guayas is a river that suits anglers willing to walk a bank. Most fish at Río Guayas hold in identifiable lies — the same eddies, drop-offs, and shaded undercuts produce trip after trip. After heavy rain, Río Guayas can colour up and rise quickly; that's often when bigger predators come out to feed, but wading conditions get dangerous.

Fishing Techniques

• For White snook

  Focus on fishing structure like docks, mangroves, and bridges, as white snook often ambush prey from these locations.

• For Stolzmann's weakfish

  Target areas with moving water such as inlets or channels, and focus on fishing during dawn and dusk when weakfish are most active.

• For Largemouth bass

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.
